Knock-out your Virtualization Needs with F5, VMware, and AOS

Farrell's — 9/17/2008 4:00 PM

Join F5, AOS and VMware to discover:

Latest trends impacting the data center and why enterprises need to build next-generation application delivery infrastructures that are truly adaptive.

Best practices for building a dynamically scalable, integrated application delivery infrastructure by consolidating security and networking functionality, processing power, traffic management, and application delivery services.

The latest cutting-edge technologies to create an intelligent service-oriented architecture where the network traffic is decoupled from their physical links, virtualizing the data center architecture-from the web and application servers to the storage tier.

Speaker:
John Gruber, an F5 engineer

Special Guest Appearence: Former Light Heavyweight Champion Guy Mezger

We will be hosting a Fight Watch party after the seminar.

Discover How AOS and EMC Can Drastically Cut your Backup Time

Deer Lake Golf Course — 9/18/2008 8:30 AM

Re-assess backup-to-disk with de-duplication

Every day, your company's backup challenges get bigger. Shrinking backup windows, increasing service levels, and stagnant IT budgets are only some of the challenges that are magnified by today's explosive data rates.

A disk-based backup solution with data de-duplication technology can change everything and enable you to solve your backup challenges. The new backup-to-disk solutions from AOS and EMC help you:

- Reduce storage, management, energy, and capacity costs
- Back up to disk instead of tape and accelerate recovery by up to 80%
- Reduce VMware host backup workloads by 90%
- Save costs by removing replication of backup data versus shipping tapes

The data being backed-up is often redundant meaning on a daily basis only 3-4% of the data is incremental or new, while the rest of it is just being backed-up repeatedly. Also bandwidth is a problem while transferring data over wide area networks. With de-duplication, back-up can be reduced by as much as 30-70% for the first time and even more in the subsequent de-duplications.

Immediately following the information session, please join AOS and EMC for a day of golf!

Breakfast and lunch will be provided.

Space is limited so RSVP early!
